It has been demonstrated that the load-deflection response of a masonry arc h bridge may often be primarily a function of the soil response. Consequently , and particularly given the current lack of rational and widely accepted serviceability criteria for masonry arch bridges, this paper explores an approach for estimating serviceability s o l pressures on a masonry arch and thus a serviceability load capacity. Since bridge assessment engineers must consider both serviceability and ultimate limit states, the possi bility of applying the relevant principles from Eurocode 7 to masonry arch bridges is examined. Param etric studies on a sample arch with cohesionless backfill indicate that stability ma be controlled by either the serviceability limit state or ultimate limit state, depending on the backfill strength. In comparison, the current UK standard for the Assessment of Highway Bri dges and Structures, BD21, appears to be overconservative for lower strength backfills . Colin C.
